Aquamarine - The Colour of the Sea

Dear Diary:

The colour this week for the Colour Challenge is described as being "the colour of the sea" and what a perfect description that is! The name actually does come from Latin, "aqua" meaning water and "marina" meaning sea.

Ancient sailors believed if they wore an aquamarine gem, they would be protected at sea and always come home safely.
